Oenerul French prolmhly crossed the
IlhenoNler river near the jutictioti with
IIonilnK Spruit, which runs thence to
HoiiiUB Spruit Stiitiou. The main British
army will prolmbly advance uIoiik the
railroad, while (ieneral French coim-riff"
from the west anil (ieneral Hamilton
from the east. Against thi overwhelm
ing force the lloers will probably follow
their usual tactics of retiring to positions
which doubt less have been prepared iu
advance for their occupation.
Ovneral French and (ieneral Hamilton
are separated from each other by ubout
40 miles, while Lord Itobert is within 12
uiilog of (ieneral French and 30 miles of
General Hamilton..
Since the lust dispatch left Honing
Spruit yeKterday.Ioid Hoberls has doubt
less still farther advanced and by now is
ettner engaging or following the retreat
ing Itcicrs. Definite dispatches received
this morning make it clear that the Vaal
river has not yet been crossed, as nearly
40 miles intervene between It and Lord
lloberts advance Hankers.
The small number of casualties mis
tained by (ieneral Hamilton iu his occU'
pation of Ileilbron bears out the theory
that the ltoers will make no strenuous
resistance until the Vaal is reached or
until even Inter.
Dlsputches to the Associated Fress
from Ileilbron say that the Boer General
De Wet had 4,0(10 men posted on an ad
Jacent hill, but that he retired when
General Hamilton approached. Tresi-
dent Bteyn fled from Hcilhron May 20,

BADEN-POWELL'S GALLANTRY,
The first word received from Colonel
Baden-Powell at Mnfcking heightens
rather than diminishes the reports here
tofore cabled of the gallantry exhibited
fcy the garrison during the closing days
of the siege. In an interview with the
correspondent of the Keuter Telegram
company, May 11, Colonel Baden-Towell
said:
"My great endenvor Is to prevent the
relief force from trying to rush into the
place before they are strong enough to
do so. It would be better to make cer
tain of relief in two months than to be
beaten in an attempted relief in one
month. You remember it was said in the
old days in Ztilulnnd that the natives
called me TJmhnln Pan?.! ('the man who
doesn't rush things'). The knowledge
that the whole empire was watching with
appreciation the good tight of the garri
son has been worth an extra pound of
rations n day to the garrison. It was
difficult to persuade the civilians of the
necessity of submitting to martini law.
We had our little difliculties, but later
there was a loyal acceptance of the mil
itary administration, und there was no
trouble at all."
lU'ferring to the requests of newspa
pers for messages. Haden-Powell looked
embarrassed and said:
"These chaps have got an exaggerated
Idea of the importance of my personality.
I look upon myself as the figurehead of
the good ship Mnfcking. It has been her
stout eanvns and shape and her brave
hull that really shoved the ship along
and brought her safely through the
stormy cruise. So, whenever I read nice
things people say of me I take It that
they are suid Inasmuch as I am the head
representative of the garrison."
HADEN-POWKLL TO KOBEUTS.
The war office issues a dispatch from
Lord Koberts. under date of 1 Innings
Spruit, May 22, announcing the receipt
by him of the following message from
Major (ieneral Haden-I'owcll, dated
Mafeklng. May 17:
"I am happy to inform you that Mafe
king was successfully relieved today.
The northern and southern columns join
ed hands on May l.'t and attacked (lie en
emy yesterday, ami, after a small en
gagement, entirely defeated them with
loss. The British casualties were 3 kill
ed and 22 wounded.
"The relieving force marched IntoMafe
king at ! this morning, anil the relief nnd
defense forces combined anil moved out
and attacked the enemy's head laager.
We shelled them out and nearly captured
Snyimiu, and took one gun, u flag and a
large amount of ammunition, stores, etc,
Fhe dead and wounded Boers were
found. The enemy appears to be re
treating in nil directions except one com
mando, which is lying low, possibly to
cover the retreat of the remainder.
"Captain Muclureii nnd Corporal Mur
ray were found in the Boer hospital.
They are doing well. The townspeople
ami the garrison of Mafckiug are hearti
ly grateful for their relief."
WAIUUC.VS FIGHT AT DOUGLAS.
A dispatch from Douglas, Cape Colony,
dated May 22, says:
"A force tinder (ieneral Warren, con
sisting of mounted infantry, Imperial
yeomanry and two guns of the Canadian
artillery, left ltooi Pan, Cape Colony, on
the night of May 20 and marched iu two
columns, under Colonels Hughes and
Spence. Nothing wns seen of the Boers
until the British were within two miles
of Douglas, when a few shells from the
Canadian artillery sent the burghers in
full retreat toward Douglas. Colonel
Hughes' column advanced in skirmishing
order, and after it lengthy exchange of
shots the Boers tied, leaving their laager
and a ijmititity of stores and iiinuiiiuition.
"Again today 300 .Boers opened a hot
fire on a detachment of yeomanry, uud
the Canadian artillery repented their ex
cellent practice uud compelled the enemy
to retire."

If Porto Rico Is not a part of the
United States what right has congress
to appropriate money of the United
Mates for her benefit? There never
hns been a case in the American con
gross In which there wns so much hy
pocrisy, cowardice nnd Inconsistency
shown as the Republicans have exhlb'
lted In dealing with Porto Rico,
Prof, Goldwln Smith, who left a high
political position In British politics
and a professorship In Oxford universi
ty to live In Canada, says that England
will no doubt ultimately win in her
contest with the Boers, nut he consid
ers the measure of glory In so doing
will lie about the same as that gained
by England In burning Jonn of Arc.
The credit to be derived by the United
States In subduing the Filipinos may
be likened to the glory we gained in
hanging Mrs. Surratt because she kept
a boarding house.
The broom corn trust hns 12,000 tons
of stock on hand, but refuses to sell
for less than $200 per ton. This Is far
beyond the real value, and as a result
a Chlcngo factory has Imported BOO
tons from Ttunsrnry at a total cost of
120 a ton laid down In Chicago. This
Is the first broom corn ever Imported
for American fnctorles, and this would
not have been bought abroad had not
the trust played the hog game a little
too hard. The broom corn trust will
now doubtless ask congress to raise the
tariff on broom corn In order to pro'
tect the American farmer, and unless
congress rises above Its usual plane of
criminal stupidity in dealing with such
questions, the demands of the trust will
be speedily complied with. Anything
and everything, no matter how out
rageous, goes under the lying plea of
protection.
In the face of the reports that the
Ullplnos have given tip fighting In an
organized capacity, Gen. Young, In
nortn Luzon, has recently made sev
eral requests for more men. Oen. Bell In
southern Luzon has made similar re
quests. They declare that their men
are exhausted and their force Insuf
ficient to hold out against the patriots.
The little insurrection that McKlnley
speaks of In his message promises to
continue long enough to do Its shareln
defeating the "Emperor of Indecision"
for a second term of wicked mlBrule,
Gen. Otis holds out the Idea that the
Filipinos are whipped, but that it will
take more troops to keep them whip
ped. McKInley's plan of "benevolent
sufncatlon" comes high, but it seems
that our people are foolish enough
and wicked enough to look on It with
Indifference as a necessary evil.
The supreme court of Michigan de
serves credit for rendering a decision
against the railroads and In favor of
the people. It Is a sorry fact that
courts of last resort usually decide In
favor of the corporations. The laws
of Michigan provide that when the
earnings of passenger trains shall
reach a certain sum the fares shall be
reduced from three cents to two and a
half cents per mile. The report of the
Wabash road for 1898 showed that Its
earnings hnd reached the amount fixed
by law to institute a reduction of fares.
The road set up the defense, however,
that the mall, express and baggage
carried on baggage trains are not prop
erly counted as part of the earnings
of such trains, and refused to pay on
the ground that earnings of passenger
trains exclusive of these Items did not
reach the amount calling for the reduc
tion in fares. The court decided, how
ever, that the profits from baggage, ex
press and mail are properly a part of
the earnings of the trains on which
they are carried.
How many In the state had heard of
Foerderer, the Republican candidate
for congressman-at-large, until It was
announced he had agreed to pay the
price at which the nomination was
held? It Is said that the price was
$10,000 to the state campaign fund and
a like amount to the national fund. It
must be humillntlng to Republicans
who have any sense of political hon
esty to know that the nomination was
hawked about for a financial consid
eration nnd finally picked up by a man
who would never been thought of for
the place had It not been for his will

while ability and fitness welch but lit
tle with the machine. Dr. Flood Is a
man of character and ability, with a
reputation that extends beyond the
confines of his own state. He Is lo
cated, too, In that part of the state
from which one candidate Rhonld have
been taken, but he was turned down,
simply bemuse he wouldn't pay the
price demanded.
Hon. John Wannmnker comes In for
a good share of abuse from the Quay
organs on account of the hard tumble
their patron saint received In the son
nte. They blame Quay's failure to be
seated on Governor Stone's certificate
to (he Influeace of Mr. Wnnamaker.
There Is no doubt that he contributed
more largely to the desirable result
than any other man. nnd he doubtless
considers the criticism that arises on
account of It as the highest praise.
Mr. Wannmaker has for years been a
persistent and consistent enemy of
Quaylsm, and has given both of his
time and his means to bring about
a better condition of affairs In his
party In rhllndelphla, as well as In the
state. It wns due almost entirely to
his speeches In '98 and to the efforts of
the Business Men's League, of which
he Is a leading spirit, that Mr. Quay Is
not an honored If not honorable mem
ber of the United States senate today.
Mr. Wannmaker says that there has
not been an honest election In Penn
sylvania In 15 years except In spots,
and that Philadelphia has not within
the memory of man been so governed
as to ensure fair elections. He Is not
loved by Quay men, be they Quay Dem
ocrats or Quay Republicans, but he has
the respect and good will of all those
who desire honest methods In political
matters. Mr. Wanamaker Is not an of
fice seeker, but If the time comes when
the Pennsylvania Republicans want a
man for high official position who has
ability and Integrity, and who is doing
more than any other one man to purify
his party, Mr. Wanamaker will not
long remain without a call.

"Tenderly beautiful is that great
memory" which draws us to out Mem
orial Days the day for flags and flow
ers and music, to be dedicated and
given to those comrades of ours who
are dreaming in the sleep of death;
the day on which we give all our
thought to those glory-crowned heroes
whose heart-beats are stilled forever
and forever.
The choicest phrases of prose and
poetry thi sweetest language of flow
ers and most beautiful symphonies of
music have been called on and culled
from for thirty-four years to pay hom
age to those dead comrades of ours j
to give tribute to the memory of the
brave boys who shared privations with
us in the field, or with us faced dang
ers on angry ocean's bosom, and who
have answered the last roll call ; yet,
after the lapse of all these years, alter
more than a third of a century has
glided by on the swiftly, silently mov
ing wings of time, our hearts are at
tuned, by memories of danger and o(
daring and of suffering j bv remember
ances of the march, the bivouac and
the battle . bv recollections of wounds,
of prison horrors and of death, lo sing
again the old sweet song of loved and
loving comrades, to tell again the old
sweet story of affectionate comrade
ship. And the dear old flag 1 The grand
est of all national emblems shall be in
tertwined with the flowers, the music,
the poetry and the eloquence, and as
we decorate with nature s brightest
and most beautiful flowers each little
green mound of soldier and ol sailor
dead, we'il plane there too the starry
banner. Let us touch the strings of
the harp of memory, as angel choirs
sing :

Interest other societies to take part
in the loving duties of the day, brine

ed to participate with you.
II. Memorial Day is the proper
and only title applied to May 30th by
the Urand Army of the Republic.
Decoration day is a misnomer and is
used by those who seek to divert the
day for races, games and general
sporting purposes. Comrades and
their friends, newspapers and the
people generally are urged to discon
tinue the use of any term other than
Memorial Day for May 30th.
III. Divine service on the Sunday
preceding our Memorial Day (in this
instance May 27th) is an important
feature and all Posts will arrange for
memorial and patriotic church services
on that date. Churches, pastors and
congregations of every denomination,
will gladly welcome the Grand Army
of the Republic and officers and com
mittees of Posts can arrange with the
pastors for sermons referring to the
results achieved for Christianity and
humanity through the success of the
Union soldiers and sailors.
IV. Comrades should visit the
schools during the week of May 21st
to 26th, telling the children what
Memorial Day means, telling them
the story of the War and what it cost
in hardships, privations and sufferings
to preserve the old flag unsullied and
to keep our country undivided. Have
the children join with you with flowers
and music.
v . The Commander-in-Chief
makes an appeal to Comrades and
Posts for contributions for flags with
which to decorate the tens of thous
ands of graves of our comrades who
lie "under the dew and the sod"
throughout the South. Posts and
comrades located in the Suthern
States are numerically and financially
wea. 1 ney attend to the sacred
duties of Memorial Day, but they need
flags for decoration purposes. Con
tributions for this purpose should be
sent to Thome s J. Stewart, Adjutant
General, Independence Hall Phila
delphia, who will acknowledge the re
ceipt of all such monies, turn the same
ovf r to the Quartermaster General
who will purchase and forward the
flags. Every Post can aflord to make
a donation for this purpose and it is
noped that the responses will be lib
